== Music ==
As a vocalist for Lightning Bolt and Mindflayer, Chippendale eschews the usual microphone stand and conventional microphone, instead using a contact microphone. Chippendale often warbles or makes nonsensical sounds into the microphone, so the vocals typically come out extremely distorted and incomprehensible. More recently, Chippendale has used a Line 6 delay pedal to delay and repeat his vocals while drumming.<ref name="Licht">{{cite web | last = Licht | first = Alan | title = Lightning Bolt | work = The Wire No. 262 | publisher = The Wire Archive | date = January 12, 2005 | url = http://www.thewire.co.uk/web/unpublished/lightning_bolt.html | accessdate = March 21, 2007 | url-status = dead | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20070224100132/http://www.thewire.co.uk/web/unpublished/lightning_bolt.html | archivedate = February 24, 2007 }}</ref>
